It is more difficult than ever for financial institutions to keep their data secure, making data security more important than ever.

In this blog, we’ll talk about the many challenges that financial institutions face in keeping confidential data safe. We’ll highlight how a solid test automation strategy — paired with a powerful test automation tool like Provar Automation — can help financial institutions shield themselves from cyber attacks and adhere to strict rules and regulations. 

Challenges to Data Security in the Financial Industry

Financial organizations face incredibly complex challenges in keeping confidential information safe. They are also among the most targeted industries for cyber threats.

Common challenges to data security in the financial industry include:

  • Protecting huge amounts of confidential information is crucial. This includes personal customer data, financial transactions, proprietary business data, credit card information, and bank account numbers.
  • Organizations must comply with strict regulatory requirements such as GDPR and HIPAA. Non-compliance can result in harsh penalties, steep fines, security breaches, and loss of public trust.
  • They operate within intricate and diverse IT infrastructures. These systems often integrate with Salesforce, third-party applications, legacy systems, and other platforms. Greater system complexity necessitates ironclad security, vigilant monitoring, and comprehensive testing.
  • Overcoming increasingly complex threats and sophisticated attacks while simultaneously staying ahead of new mandates and regulations

To overcome these challenges, financial institutions must implement a multifaceted approach to their data security that prioritizes ironclad security while promising operational efficiency. With an automated testing solution like Provar Automation, financial service organizations can rigorously test their systems, validate their security measures, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements — all while keeping their data security ironclad.
